About the host
Hosted by Linda Sack
Born and raised downstate, I moved to Beaver Island from Nashville, Tennessee where I lived for 23 years. I worked in non-profit agencies and healthcare, and played music professionally as part of the Nashville Dulcimer Quartet. I was fortunate to study at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music under a brilliant and kind adjunct professor and mountain dulcimer virtuoso. In 2016, I discovered Beaver Island and this beautiful little chalet. I lived on the island until caring for my late father took me downstate, where I live now. I work as a writer and care for my mother and come up to the island as often as I can to manage our retreat.
Why they chose this property
I purchased this home as a writer's cabin and a place for my dog, Ruby, and I to immerse ourselves in natural beauty. I was brought to Beaver Island by a dear friend from college days-- who lives down the road from me now! I fell in love with the island on my first visit! The cove our chalet is set in is a magical, peaceful setting.
What makes this property unique
This house is really my dream house. After living in a small cottage in Nashville which was shaded and didn't have much light or space, I needed the light and open floor plan of this chalet. I love the counter and bar stools in the kitchen for morning espresso and reading/studying/writing. The back of the house is wrap around windows overlooking the wooded ridge covered with ferns and mossy logs, and I feel like I live in a park! It's a dog's heaven here, with miles to explore and I feel safe letting her explore with me. The back deck is magical for stargazing. In the fall and winter, the beauty is almost unbelievable. It is other-worldly when the lake freezes and ice/snow formations develop along the shore. Like another planet. The play of the light on the ice at sunset is photographer's dream. I am grateful every day to get to live in this special house on an extraordinary island.
